Nip/Tuck

As much as I get some perverse pleasure out of this show, I gotta say it may actually be the real show about nothing. Really, besides lots of nudity and absurd plots, what is its core? As far out as Rescue Me gets, at its core it is a show about the turmoil and angst of New York City firefighters. Nip/Tuck is really just titillation. Season one at least had some interesting plots and operations. Now it is more about how outrageous the plots can get. As Sean would say, "big wheel."

titillation = nipplation, only in a broader sense, no?

Of the topic, I have to warn tall guys to watch the brass nipple when they come into my house...the decorative screw that holds the ceiling fixtures in place.

nip and tuck.
